Service Pack II had similar forms of impact on networking and various
components that are associated with the network. In most circumstances, I
advised to wipe and re-install. [sarcasm] marvellously, this resolves the
problem. That's often the only solution when an operating system is not
modular. You cannot mend the morbid chunks. If Linux is like Lego, Windows
is like Play-Doh.
